Ecommerce Platform Software Marketing Agency Turn re-platforming searches into live, selling merchants.

Pricing is public — nothing hidden behind a “contact sales” form. Google Ads management is 10% of your ad budget, $600/month minimum, and every dollar of that budget still goes to Google — no markup from us. SEO runs $50 per page per month, 10-page minimum. A custom platform site or landing-page build is one of eight one-time packages, $1,500 to $20,000+ (see /websites for what each includes). $0 setup, month to month, and you'll have exact numbers in a free proposal within one business day.

If your CAC keeps climbing every time you try to outbid Shopify for a branded click, if trials create an account but never finish loading a catalog, or if new merchants still mostly come from your existing customers' agencies mentioning you — yes, closing one of those probably covers the fee. We take the comparison pages, the paid and organic acquisition, and the onboarding email off your plate so your team stays on the store builder itself. If trials are already converting well on their own, leave that engine alone.

It owns every channel that turns a “shopify alternative” search into a merchant who's live and selling. SearchPod builds your platform site and migration-comparison landing pages, runs Google Ads aimed at merchants actively pricing out a switch, wins the “[competitor] alternative” and G2/Capterra visibility that decides most shortlists, and automates the onboarding email that gets a trial to its first live sale — one team, one pipeline.

Ask whether they optimize for live, selling stores or just for signups — those are very different jobs here. Ask if they can trace a trial back to CAC and renewal. And ask if they understand why a merchant won't touch a platform migration two weeks before Black Friday, or why the agency building the store can quietly veto the whole decision. Then check ownership: your site, ad accounts, and data need to stay in your company's name, not the agency's.

Expect the first real leads from paid campaigns in 6 to 8 weeks. Category and comparison-query rankings take roughly 3 to 4 months to take hold, then keep paying off well past that. Meanwhile, lifecycle email starts moving your trial-to-paid number within days, because it's working on merchants who already clicked Start Trial — you don't have to wait on SEO to see revenue move.

One team runs the site, ads, SEO, AI search, and lifecycle email — nothing falls into a gap between three separate vendors, and we're judged on live, selling merchants, not on traffic that never finishes onboarding. Pricing is public, there's no contract, no setup fee, and your site, ad accounts, analytics, and customer data stay in your company's name from day one.

Live, selling merchants — never raw traffic. We build landing pages and CTAs around getting a trial started, then follow every trial through catalog import and its first live sale, so you can see your real CAC and which channels produce merchants who are still selling on your platform past their first busy season.

Yes. A solo merchant launching their first store searches nothing like a brand evaluating headless or composable commerce — the solo merchant cares about price and how fast they can get a theme live, the enterprise brand cares about checkout customization, API access, and whether you can handle their traffic on Black Friday. Most platforms serve both, so we build separate campaigns and pages around how each one actually searches.

Yes. We build the “[competitor] alternative” and “[competitor] vs [competitor]” pages merchants actually search for — Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce, whichever you compete against — and we're honest about the real friction in switching: moving a live product catalog and order history without downtime, rebuilding a theme, and whether the merchant's own agency already knows the old platform cold.

Completely. Your storefront-facing site, brand assets, Google Ads account, analytics, and merchant records all sit in accounts your company controls, not ours. There's no contract locking any of it up — if you leave, nothing moves, nothing gets held back.

Yes. We work inside whatever CRM and analytics stack you're already running — HubSpot, Salesforce, or your own product data — so every trial, every store that goes live, and every renewal lands in your pipeline with clean attribution back to the ad or page that started it.

Most platform sites and comparison landing pages go live in 2 to 4 weeks. What moves that number is mostly you: how fast we get real storefront and admin screenshots, your positioning against Shopify or BigCommerce, and a couple of feedback rounds. You'll have a firm date before any work starts.
